While the legacy electric grid evolving into the smart grid, various communication standards have been used for interoperability between many components. In this situation, the needs emerged for protocol conversion and mapping method for connecting the outside components to the operation center. In this paper, according to the surge of IEC 61850-based substation automation, we studied the protocol conversion gateway for linking legacy DNP3-based control center and IEC 61850-based substation automation. This paper is based on the IEEE 1815.1 standard for the protocol mapping. We suggested the direction of development the gateway and developed prototype for evaluate the proposed gateway. Also, we bring up a security problem and give a solution.
